• Chadds Ford Township supervisors received word that more than $300,000 should be made available by the end of June for work on the completion of the Hillman Drive extension of the loop road. Tom Schafer from the Delaware County Planning Department said the funds come from what was left over of the abandoned plans to widen Route 202. The money is earmarked for engineering studies, but can be used for other aspects of the job if the township pays for the engineering.

• Supervisors also learned of an Access Management Ordinance that the county has been developing since 2010. Sam Heyburn, also of the Delco Planning Department gave a brief overview of the plan saying the idea came as a result of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation not having enough money to go ahead with the Route 202 widening project. The ordinance, if adopted, would restrict access to Route 202 through Delaware County by limiting one ingress and one egress point per property along the roadway.

Heyburn said he had already shown a copy of the draft ordinance to Concord supervisors and was a week away from presenting a copy to the Thornbury Township, Delaware County board.

Chadds Ford Supervisor Deborah Love suggested that supervisors from each of the three townships get together to review the ordinance as a group, then get back to the county with joint recommendations.
